Use My Tools

  • Chopper

Steps

It only requires three main ingredients, dry biscuits, yogurt, and hazelnut cream, which are often already available at home, making preparation even more convenient.

  • Start by preparing the base:

       – Blend the dry biscuits until you have fine crumbs.

       – Mix the biscuit crumbs with the natural yogurt until you get a homogeneous dough.

    Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, divide it into two pieces. Use one part to create the cake base, place it on a (20 cm) baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure to create a border of at least 1/2 inch.

    Fill with hazelnut spread as desired (I used about 7 oz) and a layer of grated coconut.

  • Cover with the other half of the dough, a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa, some grated coconut around the edges, and you can serve it immediately! If you prefer it a bit firmer, I recommend putting it in the refrigerator for at least an hour, just enough time to let it solidify.

Quick, fresh, and creamy, it will become one of your favorite cakes to prepare, especially when you have little time available.
Enjoy your meal!

Tips

If needed, slightly heat the hazelnut spread in a saucepan or microwave to make it more fluid.

You can further customize this cake by adding ingredients like fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips to vary its taste and appearance.
